— The Latest on the fight over President Donald Trump’s decision no-cost birth control for workers (all times local):5:20 p.m.Two advocacy groups have filed a federal lawsuit in Indiana challenging a rule change by President Donald Trump’s administration allowing more employers to opt out of no-cost birth control for workers. The suit was filed Tuesday on behalf of five women at risk of being denied birth control coverage, including three University of Notre Dame students. The University of Notre Dame is ending no-cost contraceptive coverage for employees and students. The announcement follows President Donald Trump’s decision to roll back the Affordable Care Act rule that requires employers to offer birth control coverage in their health insurance plans. Notre Dame previously offered coverage through a third party, which allowed the university to meet the requirement while maintaining its religious opposition to contraceptives.
